Foreign songs that men like. World classics and popular songs (11–20)
It’s My LifeBon Jovi

In a word: cool! It’s a masterpiece among masterpieces.
It’s been just under 20 years since the song came out, but instead of getting old, it’s stayed popular—so much so that there are probably hardly any young people who don’t know it.
The lyrics are amazing, and John is cool, too.
PILLOWTALKZAYN

This is the first song Zayn released after leaving One Direction, which had originally been a girls’ idol group.
Defying most expectations, Zayn successfully reinvented his image with this track and even won over male fans.
For men as well, this song of his is surely a masterpiece.
Beautiful GirlsSean Kingston

Sean Kingston, known as the chubby prince.
He was still a teenager when he released this song, yet tons of people got hooked, and he even became popular enough to come to Japan.
The reggae that caught on in Japan may well have had something to do with him.
Let Her GoPassenger

If you think of Passenger’s greatest hits, it has to be this song.
It’s very mellow and easy to sing, so men sing it often at karaoke.
They’re a laid-back band with strong appeal to both men and women—a truly wonderful group.
Ho HeyThe Lumineers

It’s a classic by The Lumineers, whose album sold exceptionally well in Japan too.
They just visited Japan this April.
The tickets sold out, and even the additional release sold out—proof of their immense popularity.
We’re highly excited to see what they do next, as they continue to release songs with fresh styles.
I Don’t Wanna Miss A ThingAerosmith

This is the theme song from Armageddon, the movie that made not just America but the whole world cry.
This band, which has been popular in Japan since around the 1970s, has also toured Japan, delighting their Japanese fans.
They are known as one of the best-selling bands in the world.
